Oh, me? Well it's, uh...

[Varian rocks back on his heels, looking around at all of the bright colors and cutesy mascots all over the place.]

I wouldn't call it exactly my taste? But it IS cute. So I can appreciate that.

I mean, I think I know a thing or two about cute things at this point.

[Said as he leans in to put an arm briefly around Rina, pulling her close to his side.]

I should know, I have one.

[ At suddenly being pulled in closer and hearing that, Rina’s face starts to turn red and she quickly puts the board back up after lowering it a little to look at the keychains ]

Ah…

Y-You going to… embarrass me… a little…

[ But she doesn’t mean that in a bad way. ]

[Sorry Rina, your boyfriend just cannot help but be absolutely insufferable. He'll only hold her near for a moment, just long enough for him to kiss the side of her head before he pulls away.]

A little? Clearly I'm not trying hard enough.

[Terrible.]

[ SCREAMS VARIAN THE STORE CLERK CAN SEE THEM!!!!

Her face feels even hotter as he kisses her and she keeps the board up to hide behind. ]

Awawawa…

[ And then she faces him with a more determined board >:( ]

I’m going to… get you back, you know!

[IT'S FINE WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO, ARREST THEM FOR PDA-

Varian just laughs at that though, p utting his hands back on his heeps so he can lean forward into her space a little, a bit haughtier than before.]

Oh yeah? Should I be scared?

Mmhm, you should be! I’m going to get you real good, just wait!

[ And then YOU’LL be the one blushing and feeling embarrassed, fucker!!! ]

Oh no don't worry, I believe you! And I'll wait...I'm just curious to see what you might come up with.

[Heheheh]

...so! Did you find everything you wanted, you think?

Hmm… [ She looks back over at the keychains ] I wanted to get her something else we could match with, like how you and I have the haros now but…

[ You’ve been distracting her >:(

Her eyes catch something though and with a little “ah” she reaches out for a keychain of My Melody. ]

Look— [ She holds it up next to her face ] Doesn’t this character kinda look like me?

[ Because of course she’s wearing her flower hairpin still. ]

I wouldn't say "kinda". I would say "exactly".

[The resemblance....it's uncanny.]

If you're looking for something to match, I think that'd be perfect.

[ She seems satisfied with this before looking again. ]

There’s a character they always pair up with this one… oh, there she is.

[ She picks up a Kuromi one and looks at them both side by side in her hands before nodding and looking back at Varian. ]

I think… I’ll go with these then.

Those are perfect. I think she'll really like hers.

[And probably keep it on her person literally always from that moment on, if he knows Farrah.

With the items procured, Varian steps aside a bit so Rina can get past him in the aisle so they can make their way back to the front.]

Hey- rememeber how you asked me earlier if I was hungry? I couldn't help but notice they were selling something up front here...

Hm? You mean the cafe? [ She looks off in the direction of it ]

Did you want to try the pancakes?

Edited (REALIZED I MISREAD A LITTLE) 2021-08-13 22:33 (UTC)

Yeah! Are you up for it?

[Pancakes aren't like...a lunch or dinner kind of food, but neither of them had breakfast anyway, did they? It's fine.]

[ It’s okay, they need a snack and pancake is a weird translation of what they actually are anyway 👀 ]

Sure!

[ She looks over at the cafe a little more. Hmmm… ]

Did you want to try them with the ice cream?

They come with ice cream?

[Will Japan never cease to amaze...]

Uh, yeah, that sounds like the only way to have them.

[He's looking over the selections on display as well. He's been here long enough to get a pretty decent scale of how much is too much or how much is cheap when it comes to yen, so when he sees that they're selling 20 individual ones in a box for 800 yen, he whistles under his breath.]

That's really cheap, isn't it?

[ She looks over at them with him and nods. ]

Mm, it’s pretty cheap. Just getting one with ice cream is 280 yen. Even the donuts and other stuff don’t cost much.

[ Because of course there’s also donuts that look like kitty heads and mochi that looks like the characters. ]

Thankfully most street food is pretty cheap unless you’re getting something really fancy. So whatever you want we can get no problem.

Man. I almost don't know what I want...

[He leans in a little closer to the glass. The donuts look great too, but that rings more as dessert tthan anything else. ...well, as if this isn't ALL dessert.]

Maybe one of the pancakes with ice cream? I like that green flavor...uh. Tea...?

Green tea, yeah.

[ She leans in closer as well, but this time to look at the signs with the ice cream options. ]

I think I want… to try the one that’s a swirl of the green tea and milk flavours. With one of the chocolate filled pancakes.

[ I hate that in looking this place up some more I discovered it’s “milk flavour” and not “vanilla”. ]

[MILK FLAVOR]

I want that one too. That sounds really good right now.

[Chocolate filled and everything? Okay maybe this IS a dessert after all, but you're not going to catch him complaining.]

Kinda cute how they're all shaped like the cat mascot.

[ Rina goes up and orders their ice cream for them, while also grabbing one of those packs of 20 to snack on later at home. As she’s paying she replies: ]

You mean Hello Kitty-chan? She’s world famous you know.

[ She takes the box and adds it to her bag… probably going to have to put all this in Varian’s backpack later, huh. ]

Pretty much everyone in this world knows who she is - her face is everywhere.

[She's also NOT A CAT APPARENTLY I'm so mad]

Really? She's like..a cartoon, right? Like Spongebob, only not real.

[Spongebob isn't- never mind.]

[ At that she stops and stares at him long and hard with her ever unchanging face.

…… ]

She could be real in some universe. Like Spongebob-kun.

[ IS THERE A HELLO KITTY MUSICAL ]

[......]

I don't know if I'm worried or not by the fact that you could be right about that.

[ The ice cream is ready and she takes them both, but even as when’s handing Varian his, she seems to be deep in thought. Then suddenly, as if this only occurred to her just now: ]

There could be a universe where Sonic is real.

[ Holy SHIT. ]

[...bless him, he tries very hard not to. But that expression is looking very deadpan right now.]

There...could be.

I guess.
